Pictures from this past week on the mountain include a shot of a complete undercast, some impressive lenticulars, and a setting moon. Also included is a timelapse video of the aforementioned lenticular clouds.
It's no secret to folks that live in the eastern United States that the winter of 2011-2012 has generally seen above average temperatures and below average snowfall. This entry takes a look at whether that is the case on Mount Washington, and whether the departures from normal are unprecendented.
Although things have turned more wintry lately, another warm-up is on the way for the next couple of days. Luckily, it won't be as warm as it was earlier in the month, and by the weekend, cold air will return.
Winter came back, and with a vengeance! Winds peaked at 117 mph on Thursday morning while temperatures also fell to more seasonable levels than we have seen lately. All this has certainly brought the feeling of winter back to Mount Washington.
Yet another picture entry, this time from the shift that spanned November 9 to November 16. This set features some nice optical phenomena, as well as the usual sunset pictures.
